Slow Cooker Braised Red Cabbage
Slow cooker braised red cabbage with apples is a delicious, comforting side dish. We usually serve it with our Christmas lunch, but its rich fruity flavour is also great with other roast meats. This easy crockpot braised red cabbage is a healthy side dish, so it's good to add to your menus regularly.
Ingredients
- ½ large red cabbage
- 1 large cooking apple or 2 green eating apples
- 1 onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground allspice
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice not essential, but the cabbage will keep its colour better
Instructions
- Peel and chop the onion. Cut the red cabbage into quarters, remove the stalk along with any tired leaves and finely slice. Cut the apple into chunks. There's no need to peel the apples, simply cut the flesh away from the core and roughly chop into pieces about 1.5 cm. Add all of the vegetables to the slow cooker pot, along with the other ingredients and stir to mix.
- Cook in the slow cooker on high for 4 hrs or low for 7-8. If you'd prefer to cook this recipe in the oven, place in a large ovenproof casserole with a lid and cook for 2 - 2.5 hours at 150 degrees. Check during cooking a couple of times, and if necessary add a splash more water.
